UAlbany erupted for four second half goals to defeat Siena Women’s Soccer 5-1 Sunday night at Bob Ford Field. Junior Cassy Landis scored her first career goal, accounting for the Saints’ tally.

Caitlyn Paltsios tallied five points for UAlbany (1-2), scoring a goal and dishing out three assists including on the game-winner. Three of the five Great Danes’ goals came from reserves which totaled 10 of their 20 shots.

UAlbany led 1-0 at the half and took a two-goal lead early in the final stanza. The Saints (1-3) cut the deficit in half when Landis headed in a corner kick in the 61st minute off the foot of sophomore Tara Sobierajski.

But UAlbany added three insurance goals in a 15-minute span late to pull away.
